About Fundamentals Of Periodontics
Newly revised and expanded, this clinically oriented text provides the essential information needed to understand periodontal diseases and deliver effective treatment. Written in a user-friendly style, it thoroughly explains the biology of the periodontium in health and disease, gives detailed instructions on patient examination, and discusses various local and systemic risk factors. Actual case scenarios illustrate how to interpret clinical evidence, make a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan for the most common forms of disease. Six chapters are devoted to implant therapy, and four others address adjunct treatment procedures that may be needed to enhance periodontal health. With color images throughout, this textbook is as valuable a resource for general practitioners and dental hygienists as it is for students.ContentsPrefaceContributorsBasic Terms and Classification of DiseasesPART I: Essential Information for Clinical Decision Making1 The Pathogenesis of Periodontitis2 The Epidemiology of Periodontal Diseases3 Anatomy of the Periodontium4 Histopathology of Periodontal Diseases5 Microbiology and Etiology of Periodontal Diseases6 The Biochemistry and Physiology of Periodontal Connective Tissues7 The Physiology of Bone8 Immune Responses in Periodontal Diseases9 Inflammatory Response in Periodontal Diseases10 Aging of the Periodontium11 Genetics and Periodontal Diseases12 Tobacco Use and Its Relation to Periodontal Diseases13 Endocrine Disorders14 Other Systemic Modifiers15 Systemic Effects of Periodontal Diseases16 Infection Control and Personnel Safety17 Examination of Patients to Detect Periodontal Diseases18 Radiography in Periodontal Assessments19 Supplemental Diagnostics for the Assessment of Periodontal DiseasesPART II: Clinical Management of the Periodontal Patient in Health and Disease20 Making a Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Plan21 The Healthy Patient22 Treating Dental Plaque Induced Gingivitis23 Treating Chronic Periodontitis with Early or Moderate Attachment Loss24 Treating Aggressive Forms of Periodontal Disease with Severe Bone Loss25 Host Modifying Therapeutics26 Re-Treatment 27 Referrals to Specialists28 Periodontal Maintenance29 Lesions in the Oral Mucous Membranes and PeriodontiumPART III: Restorative and Esthetic Treatment Aspects of Periodontal Therapy30 Periodontal Health and Restorative Procedures31 Occlusal Trauma: Effects and Management32 Esthetic Periodontics (Periodontal Plastic Surgery)33 Orthodontics and the PeriodontiumPART IV: Dental Implants34 The Biology of Implant Dentistry35 Treatment Planning for Implant Surgery36 Radiography in Dental Implant Assessment37 Implant Surgery38 Restorative Procedures Following Implant Placement39 Advanced Implant PlacementAppendix 1 Health History Appendix 2 Premedication Index
